Jolley Roger Posted July 7, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2015 I'm about to start on the deck planking of the Mayflower. Does anybody know what the planking pattern on a galleon of this era would have been? Quote Samuel Pepys notes in his diary on 19 July 1667: "the Dutch fleets being in so many places, that Sir W. Batten at table cried, By God,says he, I think the Devil shits Dutchmen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted July 7, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2015 You can even ask yourself the qeustion whether or not there would have been any strict planking scheme.... Jan mtaylor, wq3296 and druxey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted July 7, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 7, 2015 Take a look at the planking scheme - or lack of it - on the Mary Rose wreck. wq3296 and mtaylor 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbshan Posted July 7, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2015 The deck planking on Vasa, as presented in Vol. I of the publication of this ship seemed, to my eye, to be more expedient than to a strict pattern. mtaylor 1 Quote Joel Sanborn http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9953-lexington-by-jbshan-dlumberyard-164-from-the-seaways-practicum-by-clay-feldman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
